Welcome to the RepRapFirmware-for-MKS-Boards wiki!

Using on MKS Robin Nano V3

Hardware

Just connect the MKS Robin Wifi module to the MKS Robin Nano V3 board, and need the TF card with FAT32 format.

Mainboard firmware update

Update Mainboard bootloader

The original bootloader does not support RRF, so the BootLoader needs to be updated first. This is only a one-time step. The updated BootLoader will support both Marlin firmware and RRF firmware.
Copy the following files from https://github.com/makerbase-mks/RepRapFirmware-for-MKS-Boards/tree/main/bootloader to the TF card, insert the card into the motherboard card s, then power on and wait the update to be finished.
firmware.bin
nano_v3_bootlaoader.bin
Robin_nano_v3.bin

Update mainboard RRF firmware

Copy the following files and folders from https://github.com/makerbase-mks/RepRapFirmware-for-MKS-Boards/tree/main/release%20firmware/rrf_v3.2 to the TF card, then power on until the “FAN1” light on the motherboard flashes, that means update RRF firmware complete.

wifi firmware update and wifi configuration

  • To update the Wifi firmware, you need to make sure that the wifi firmware DuetWiFiServer.bin is in the firmware folder of TF card.
    Use the Pronterface or other host on PC to connect to the motherboard, and then send the command:
    M997 S1
    to update the wifi firmware. The firmware update process will display the update progress on the Pronterface.
  • Wifi name and wifi password settings, send the command :
    M587 S "wifi name" P "wifi password"
  • Modify wifi name and wifi password according to your actual situation.
  • Wfi IP query, the host computer sends instructions:
    M552 S1
  • Web page control connection, enter the IP in the browser to login.
    Enter the login password, which is set in the configuration file: release firmware/rrf_v3.2/sys/config.g

Modification of the machine parameter configuration file

The following config options should be modified on the file : release firmware/rrf_v3.2/sys/config.g

Set the rotation direction of the motor, S0 or S1, if the rotation direction is not correct, configure the opposite

M569 P0 S0 ; （X）physical drive 0 goes forwards using default driver timings
M569 P1 S0 ; （Y）physical drive 1 goes forwards using default driver timings
M569 P2 S1 ; （Z）physical drive 2 goes forwards using default driver timings
M569 P3 S0 ;（E0） physical drive 2 goes forwards using default driver timings

M208 X230 Y210 Z200 S0 ; set axis maxima

Limit type setting

; Endstops
M574 X1 S1 P"^xstop" ; configure active-high endstop for low end on X via pin !^xstop
M574 Y1 S1 P"!^ystop" ; configure active-high endstop for low end on Y via pin !^ystop
M574 Z1 S1 P"!^zstop" ; configure active-high endstop for low
end on Z via pin !^zstop

Runout_sensor cofiguration

Add the following code to the enstops configuration:
M591 D0 P1 C"e1stop" L7 R75:125 E22 S1 ;configure runout_sensor P1 low level trigger, P2 high level trigger

Enable PanelDue screen

Add instructions in the distribution file

Bltouch/3Dtouch configuration

  • Add the following instructions to the configuration file:
    ;Z-Probe
    M950 S0 C"servo0" ; Setup servo 0 as servo
    M558 P9 C"^zstopmax" H5 F120 T6000 ; set Z probe type to bltouch and the dive height + speeds
